Legend of Zelda link

It seems to be working for me now- it may just have been that you pasted the wrong link into the article, or the page you linked to redirected, which wasn't Wikipedia. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 18:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank You for looking :)

No problem. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 19:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Pictures etc

And how do I add a pic. to my page?

Also check out this small video--http://www.crh.noaa.gov/pub/?n=/ltg/plane_japan.php

Feel free to do whatever you want to this.

Qho,

I can't actually remembering there not being a Wikipedia (so I've probably been editing for too long!) but I registered in Spring this year.

The "well, almost" comment about my gender is a (very weak) attempt at humour, and since it was one of the first edits I made I've kept it. I prefer British spelling (obviously- the word "math" shouldn't exist!), but agree that articles on American topics should be written using American spelling, and am happy to flick between them when required.

To add a picture to your page (or, indeed, most Wikipedia pages), try this:

[[Image:WikiThanks.png]]

...which should produce:

Thanks for the video, it was intriguing.

Thanks

Thanks for all the...err...stuff! Take a look at the introuduction and tutorial- these should give you an idea of how to start editing articles or even creating your own. Happy editing!

Remember that some users may consider lots of images and text on their page "vandalism", despite the fact they're supposed to assume good faith.

Once you've made some serious edits to other articles, you'll be ready to join Esperanza, a Wikipedia community which I have a feeling you'll love!

Zelda Article

I looked at your contributions and can't see where you've edited the Zelda article. Post the link to me and I'll take a look though. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 18:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I took a look at it- the external link you posted seems fine to me, but someone obviously objects for some reason. The best thing you can do is find out who reverts your link and in a civil manner ask them why they keep deleting your link.

There was something in the edit summaries about GameFAQs not wanting their link in the Wikipedia article, but I can't see why- there's nothing mentioned on the talk page about it either.

Page history

Click the "history" link at the top of the article's page. From there you will be able to see the list of people who have edited the article, with the most recent editors at the top.

External links

Please refrain from adding external links that do not significantly contribute to articles, game guides are at best trivial. For a complete list of criteria, see WP:EL. OSP 16:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

External links

Take a look here, at point 6: I think you could argue that your link adds information that would be too detailed in the article itself. Point this out on the article's talk page if you're sure the link does, and perhaps try telling the other user this. Obviously, there are a lot of Game FAQs on the Worldwide web, and some articles do suffer from too many external links, but your link seems a reasonable resource to add to me.

Also, take a note of dispute resolution, which may prove helpful if this continues.

Thanks Qho! If you need any more help I'm usually around. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 22:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

New Section Link

I fixed your new section link for you: external links don't use pipes ("|"), which is what I think was causing your problems. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 08:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Images

To enlarge an image, try [[Image:ImageName.png|imgwidthpx|left]], which produces something like

PS, I changed the text colour for you so it's easier to read your messages: for some reason the headers don't change too though! EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 15:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Smiley

I appreciate the smiley! Is there a way to reduce the size? I love it but would like to scale it down somewhat. Anyway, thanks for brightening a buzy day. --CTSWyneken^(talk) 15:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Qho, the above method should work here.EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 15:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Much nicer!--CTSWyneken^(talk) 15:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Text colour

Sure, it's easy when you know how:

• <div style="align: center ; padding:2em; solid 30px black; background-color:black;"> '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Qho&action=edit&section=new Please click here to leave me a new message.]<div/>

That's the code for your page before I altered it: it sets the text to align centrally, adds a little padding and changes the background colour to black among other things. All you need to do to the style part is add color: colourname;- to get the text white I added color: #FFFFFF, as #FFFFFF is the hexadecimal colour for white. You could also have used white (color: white;).

To turn a small amount of text a certain colour, you can use the font tag. For example, adding:

Some text here. Some text here. <font color="red">Some text here.</font> Some text here. gives:

Some text here. Some text here. Some text here. Some text here.

???

You just posted a comment on my userpage. What are you talking about??? Also, please sign your comments using ~~~~. Thanks, Alphachimp ^talk 00:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, you want to remove the messages from your talk page. I usually just cut and paste from one place to the other. Alphachimp ^talk 15:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Archiving

Qho, to start archiving your talk page, just go to a new page, such as User:Qho/Archive July 2006 A and move all of the conversation you want archiving to that page. It may also be a good idea to link to the archives from your talk page so you don't forget where they are.

EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 12:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll field this. DON't just click the move button at the top. Just cut and paste the messages onto the archive page. alternatively, you could just use Werdnabot. Alphachimp ^talk 14:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, the word "move" was misleading: I actually meant cut and paste it. You can't personally block editing to your archive pages, but could request an admin block the pages. This is probably unnecessary, though: most users just leave a note at the top of the page requesting that any new messages are left on their talk page rather than in the archive, and if a user does vandalise your page it's easy enough to revert it!

EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 15:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's worth requesting protection for a page that is not being vandalised. Protecting a talk page prevents legitimate edits, such as template replacement, which could possibly occur after the page has been protected. I don't think an admin will protect your talk archive page (and if he did, you wouldn't be able to edit it either.) Alphachimp ^talk 15:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

RE: Crime

Not really, Qho, but it probably isn't seen as a good idea by most. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 00:09, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

User page

I like your user page.

RE: BOX OF THE USERS

There is a way to do it, Qho, but I've forgotten how and can't find the page we'd need. If I find it

My User Talk Page

thank you for the attention you pay to my user talk page. however, i'd be happier if you'd made constructive contributions. next time keep that in mind.89.32.1.82 18:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

just a question. do you enjoy messing around with user talk pages? i mean it's that a hobby of yours or what? what did i told you to make constructive contributions? try to keep that in mind.89.32.1.82 19:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

You still haven't stated what your problem is and why are you so vehement about it. I do not tend to pay attention who use such means of "verbal" intervention. Whatever the problem would be, such demonstrations are hardly a resolution. And since you pretend to know who i am, maybe you will like to discuss this personally.89.32.1.82 11:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I know...

The feeling. :) --Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 20:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 20:50, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe join the WP:FBIP? --Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 20:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

He is pushing it

That person who of which we were talking about just went and "told off to OSP. I gave him his last warning. If this continues I will block him from editing for 3 hours or tell the admins.

--Qho 21:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

He has been pushing it for days Qho, i have been civil to him. I havent reported him for his 3RR vios he has blanked content etc etc, when i did report him however it was chucked out. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 21:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Same here. I have found it hard to keep calm with him. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 21:28, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

As long as

You don't post that stuff on my userpage, that is fine. --Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 22:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

You are way out of line!

This is unacceptable. You should know better than to break WP:CIVIL so egregiuosly, especially since you are complaining about this IPs behavior so much. If you continue to make thinly veiled threats against this user I will ask for input on the Admin noticeboard, which you are already familiar with. Wikipedia can't function when its editors feel threatened. It certainly doesn't make people any less likely to lash out to say that you want to kill them. I will not warn you again to stop escalating the conflict. If you can't be civil to this IP directly, please use the appropriate channels at WP:DR to get someone else to step in and help mediate.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 22:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

With regards to that edit, I was fairly certain that you didn't actually want to kill them, however that is what your statement said. I have made similar statements myself about people as an expression of frustration, but you mustn't post it on Wikipedia. I know you said it to someone else, but I found it and the IP may as well. You are free to express frustration to other editors via email and there are looser restrictions on what you can say in the Wikipedia IRC channels, but you must remain extremely civil while on the site. Don't let others provoke you into loosing your cool. I hate to sound like a mom, as I am young and male, but the old phrase "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." is a great thing to keep in mind. It will make everyone happier...I just saw your apology. Thank you very much for working to deescalate the situation. I am leaving what I wrote earlier intact as I think it is good advice and good things to keep in mind. I have seen people get so upset over incivility that they left the project, so I take it rather seriously. I hope the IP responds in kind. If you need someone to help mediate, consult with or anything else, please don't hesistate to ask me on my talk page or through email.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 23:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
